Leaving London

We’re writing some blog posts from aboard our Virgin Train from London to Holy Head. And...the high speed train in cool. When we got to our platform the train was packed and so we were coming to terms with sitting apart from each other in a crammed car. However, as luck would have it, we were pleasantly surprised to find that one first class car is used for standard class travel in the summertime and we figured that out first! Our seats here are great - we have a table in front of us for the laptop, power, and a cool view as we travel along. Turns out this train is overbooked - but we got lucky in our plush seats. Actually, in the end we got tickets London to Dublin in First Class seats for only 27 quid each (quid is another term for pounds).

So, as we sit here now traveling along England by train - passing by a lot of sheep and some picturesque contrysides, we’re planning out our time in Ireland a bit more and getting excited to explore more of Europe.

We’ll be to Holy Head in just over an hour, where we board our ferry to Dublin Ferryport. Woohoo!

Talk to you soon from Ireland!
